New HAGA Blog Post Talks About the 15 Most Shade-Tolerant Plants
Incline Village, NV, December 06, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Living in a not-so-sunny area may sometimes be a gardening disadvantage because it puts a limit on the type of plants that can be grown. But gardeners who live in these places should not easily be discouraged. The best way to make the most of this situation is to choose shade-tolerant plants that will do well despite the lack of sunlight.
Shade-tolerant plants are ideal because they only need around four hours of sun daily. These plants often have broader, thinner leaves which allow them to get more sunlight. This makes them very efficient and easy to grow at home.
There are plenty of options for a shade garden. Beets, carrots, and potatoes are excellent choices for those who love root vegetables. While these crops grow well in partial shade, it may take a bit longer for them to mature. However, they do produce quite a decent harvest even if they only get four hours of exposure to the sun.
Leafy greens such as chard, kale, and lettuce are also quite popular among gardeners. They can thrive with just three to four hours of sun per day. Again, the harvesting time may be a bit longer than usual but the results are more or less the same as when growing these leafy greens in full sun.
Finally, cilantro and parsley are recommended for gardeners who want a simple herb garden. These two culinary herbs in particular perform well with just three hours of sun per day. They also don't need much maintenance, therefore making them suitable for beginners.
While all the plants mentioned above can thrive with just four hours of daily sun exposure, the time requirement may still vary depending on the location. Gardeners should always check their hardiness zone to determine if these plants can be grown in their specific areas.
The full list of the 15 most-shade tolerant plants are now available on Home and Garden America’s website.
